IT & Infrastruktur: Wenn Live wirklich live sein muss

In der heutigen IT-Landschaft zählen Ausfallsicherheit, Geschwindigkeit und Skalierbarkeit. Ob Migration auf cloudbasierte Systeme, die Einführung neuer Netzwerkarchitekturen oder Windows- und M365-Rollouts – jede technische Umstellung bringt Herausforderungen in Bezug auf Downtime, Sicherheit und Benutzerakzeptanz. Unsere interim Rollout-Manager bringen langjährige Erfahrung im Infrastruktur- und Workplace-Rollout mit. Sie übernehmen die vollständige Koordination über mehrere Standorte hinweg, führen technische Begehungen durch, planen die Personal- und Materialverfügbarkeit und sorgen für einen reibungslosen Go-Live-Prozess – inklusive Risikoanalyse, Eskalationsmanagement und Enduser-Kommunikation. Besonders in hybriden IT-Umgebungen oder bei komplexen Legacy-Systemen machen unsere Experten von Consultingheadas den Unterschied.

Einzelhandel & Filialsysteme: Präzision bei Tempo

Im Retail zählen Geschwindigkeit und Minimierung von Ausfallzeiten. Rollouts betreffen hier POS-Systeme, Kassensoftware, mobile Payment-Terminals, Digital Signage, Lagerverwaltungssysteme oder Scanner-Infrastruktur. Die Herausforderung: hunderte bis tausende Filialstandorte müssen innerhalb enger Zeitpläne mit identischem Qualitätsstandard beliefert und aktiviert werden. Unsere Rollout-Manager steuern Logistik, Lieferanten, Techniker-Teams sowie die Kommunikation mit regionalen Ansprechpartnern. Sie führen Parallelrollouts effizient durch, dokumentieren alle Rollout-Aktivitäten revisionssicher und stellen eine lückenlose Nachverfolgung sicher. Auch bei länderübergreifenden Projekten oder saisonal getakteten Rollouts (z. B. Black Friday, Inventurzeiten) sind unsere Experten mit klaren Methoden im Einsatz.

Software & SaaS-Produkte: Vom Piloten zur Produktivumgebung

Software-Rollouts bringen technische, kommunikative und organisatorische Herausforderungen mit sich. Bei ERP-Umstellungen, HR-Systemen, Customer Service Platforms oder branchenspezifischer Individualsoftware sind nicht nur IT und Fachabteilungen involviert – auch Endnutzer müssen abgeholt, geschult und betreut werden. Unsere Rollout-Manager übernehmen das Stakeholder-Management, orchestrieren Migrationsprozesse, sorgen für datenschutzkonforme Umsetzung und stellen sicher, dass Governance-Vorgaben eingehalten werden. Sie bringen Erfahrung mit Change Management Frameworks (ADKAR, Kotter), User Enablement und Testing-Prozessen mit und entwickeln klare Roadmaps für Multi-Stage-Einführungen. So wird der Produktivbetrieb zur kalkulierbaren Realität – ohne Reibungsverluste.

Energie & Netzbetreiber: Komplexe Projekte im Feld

Die Energiebranche steht vor gewaltigen Transformationsprozessen: Netzmodernisierung, Smart Grid, dezentrale Erzeugung, E-Mobility und gesetzliche Vorgaben wie das Messstellenbetriebsgesetz oder Redispatch 2.0 stellen Unternehmen vor enorme Rollout-Herausforderungen. Unsere interim Rollout-Manager übernehmen die Koordination dezentraler Rollouts – etwa bei der Installation intelligenter Messsysteme (iMSys), Trafostationen, Ladestationen oder IoT-Sensorik in Netzsegmenten. Sie kennen die regulatorischen Anforderungen, koordinieren Monteure und IT-Dienstleister, übernehmen die Fortschritts- und Mengendokumentation und sorgen für termingerechte, kostenstabile Umsetzung – selbst in ländlichen Gebieten und unter schwierigen infrastrukturellen Bedingungen.

Healthcare & Kliniken: Technik trifft Versorgung

Die Digitalisierung des Gesundheitswesens schreitet voran – mit ePA, Medizingerätevernetzung, KIS- und RIS-Umstellungen, Patientenportalen oder mobilen Visiten-Devices. Gleichzeitig bestehen höchste Anforderungen an Datenschutz, Systemverfügbarkeit und medizinische Qualität. Unsere Rollout-Manager führen sensible Technikprojekte in aktiven Klinik- und Pflegeeinrichtungen durch, koordinieren MedTech-Dienstleister, stimmen sich mit Datenschutzbeauftragten und Pflegedienstleitungen ab und stellen sicher, dass keine Betriebsunterbrechungen entstehen. Sie dokumentieren revisionssicher nach MPG, MDR oder IEC 80001, schulen medizinisches Personal und sorgen dafür, dass Technik den Menschen dient – nicht umgekehrt.

Öffentlicher Sektor & Bildung: Rollouts mit Struktur

Gerade im öffentlichen Bereich und in Bildungsinstitutionen treffen oft komplexe Systemlandschaften auf starre Prozesse. Digitalisierungsvorhaben wie die Ausstattung von Schulen mit Endgeräten, WLAN-Infrastruktur oder der Rollout von Verwaltungssoftware müssen unter Einhaltung von Vergaberichtlinien, Datenschutz und Fördervorgaben realisiert werden. Unsere interim Rollout-Manager navigieren sicher durch kommunale Strukturen, stimmen sich mit Schulträgern, IT-Dienstleistern, Bezirksregierungen und Projektträgern ab. Sie dokumentieren für Zuwendungsnachweise, sorgen für skalierbare Umsetzungsprozesse und übernehmen auch die Kommunikation mit politischen Gremien oder Elternvertretungen – professionell, transparent, verlässlich.

IT & infrastructure: When live really has to be live

In today’s IT landscape, reliability, speed and scalability are key. Whether migrating to cloud-based systems, introducing new network architectures or rolling out Windows and M365 – every technical changeover poses challenges in terms of downtime, security and user acceptance. Our interim rollout managers have many years of experience in infrastructure and workplace rollouts. They take over full coordination across multiple locations, carry out technical inspections, plan staff and material availability and ensure a smooth go-live process – including risk analysis, escalation management and end-user communication. Our experts at Consultingheadas make the difference, especially in hybrid IT environments or with complex legacy systems.

Retail & store systems: Precision at Tempo

In retail, speed and minimizing downtime are what count. Rollouts here involve POS systems, checkout software, mobile payment terminals, digital signage, warehouse management systems and scanner infrastructure. The challenge: hundreds to thousands of store locations must be supplied and activated within tight schedules with identical quality standards. Our rollout managers manage logistics, suppliers, technician teams and communication with regional contacts. They carry out parallel rollouts efficiently, document all rollout activities in an audit-proof manner and ensure seamless tracking. Our experts also use clear methods for cross-border projects or seasonal rollouts (e.g. Black Friday, inventory periods).

Software & SaaS products: From pilot to productive environment

Software rollouts bring with them technical, communicative and organizational challenges. With ERP conversions, HR systems, customer service platforms or industry-specific individual software, it’s not just IT and specialist departments that are involved – end users also need to be picked up, trained and supported. Our rollout managers take on stakeholder management, orchestrate migration processes, ensure data protection-compliant implementation and make sure that governance requirements are met. They have experience with change management frameworks (ADKAR, Kotter), user enablement and testing processes and develop clear roadmaps for multi-stage rollouts. In this way, productive operation becomes a calculable reality – without frictional losses.

Energy & grid operators: Complex projects in the field

The energy sector is facing huge transformation processes: Grid modernization, smart grids, decentralized generation, e-mobility and legal requirements such as the Metering Point Operation Act or Redispatch 2.0 present companies with enormous rollout challenges. Our interim rollout managers take on the coordination of decentralized rollouts – such as the installation of intelligent metering systems (iMSys), transformer stations, charging stations or IoT sensors in grid segments. They are familiar with the regulatory requirements, coordinate installers and IT service providers, take care of progress and quantity documentation and ensure on-time, cost-stable implementation – even in rural areas and under difficult infrastructural conditions.

Healthcare & clinics: Technology meets care

The digitalization of the healthcare sector is progressing – with ePA, medical device networking, HIS and RIS conversions, patient portals and mobile ward round devices. At the same time, the highest demands are being placed on data protection, system availability and medical quality. Our rollout managers carry out sensitive technology projects in active hospital and care facilities, coordinate MedTech service providers, liaise with data protection officers and care service managers and ensure that there are no interruptions to operations. They provide audit-proof documentation in accordance with MPG, MDR or IEC 80001, train medical staff and ensure that technology serves people – not the other way around.

Public sector & education: rollouts with structure

Especially in the public sector and in educational institutions, complex system landscapes often come up against rigid processes. Digitization projects such as equipping schools with end devices, WLAN infrastructure or the rollout of administrative software must be implemented in compliance with procurement guidelines, data protection and funding requirements. Our interim rollout managers navigate safely through municipal structures, coordinating with school authorities, IT service providers, district governments and project sponsors. They provide documentation for proof of funding, ensure scalable implementation processes and also take care of communication with political bodies or parent representatives – professionally, transparently and reliably.
